"Hide The Decline-The Bolt Report's ratings"

I wonder if anyone’s committed enough to watch it twice on a Sunday to help keep the ratings up?

Bolt's new show, The Bolt Report, was championed by Australia's richest woman, Gina Rinehart, who was appointed to the Ten board last November.

Rinehart, a big Bolt fan who has been heard to describe the popular columnist and blogger as "handsome", took a 10 per cent stake in the network last year.

Ten sources say Rinehart has also been heard to complain about the alleged left-wing bias of Ten's popular 7PM Project and to decry Ten's appointment last year of George Negus, whom she believes is also left-wing.

st, so someone who is a strong believer in clean energy has shares in a clean energy public company :roll:

How many shares, st? You say they are 'up to their necks' in shares and 'stand to make bi $$$'s". What evidence do you have for that? What evidence do you have that Professor Garnaut is in this situation also, as you say?

If someone who agrees with you on this has shares in BHP, is that the same?

ST, if you keep linking to crackpot sites. I think it's just too late for you.

At least the site had a link to Andrew Bolt ;)

You astill haven't answered my questions about Tim Flannery's shareholdings.

Oh, if you think Tim Flannery and Ross Garnaut have a conflict of interest, what dor you think of the conflict of interest Andrew Bolt has, being employed by Australia's richest person, who'se fortune is based on mining?

Yes you have. I'm still waiting for the details to support your assertion he's up to his neck in shares and will make big bucks :)

I'm also waiting for your opinion on Andrew Bolt's conflict of interest, judged on the same criteria you apply to Tim Flannery and Ross garnaut ;)

I've been polite so far, st, but your links to weirdo sites is wearing thin.

Here is a petition from that site:

PETITION FOR PUBLIC RELEASE OF
BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA'S BIRTH CERTIFICATE
To: Electoral College, Congress of the United States, Federal Elections Commission, U.S. Supreme Court, President of the United States, other controlling legal authorities
Whereas, by requirement of the United States Constitution, Article 2, Section 1, no one can be sworn into office as president of the United States without being a natural born citizen;

Whereas, there is sufficient controversy within the citizenry of the United States as to whether presidential election winner Barack Obama was actually born in Hawaii as he claims;

Whereas, Barack Obama has refused repeated calls to release publicly his entire Hawaiian birth certificate, which would include the actual hospital that performed the delivery;

Whereas, lawsuits filed in several states seeking only proof of the basic minimal standard of eligibility have been rebuffed;

Whereas, Hawaii at the time of Obama's birth allowed births that took place in foreign countries to be registered in Hawaii;

Whereas, concerns that our government is not taking this constitutional question seriously will result in diminished confidence in our system of free and fair elections;


Would you sign that?

It's one of many they put up, all attacking Obama and pushing a very far right-wing line.

Credibility Zero.
